So you prefer a pay-as-you-go system for police, the fire department, etc?
But the dollar isn't worth a constant amount. If it were, the money you have in the bank today would have the same buying power next year, which with the way the dollar is falling, you and I both know it won't.
I said constant, not necessarily stable. That is, merchants can't arbitrarily change how much your money is worth. The clerk at Wal-Mart isn't going to tell you your dollar is only worth fifty cents while accepting full value from hte next person in line.
You are aware that illegal immigrants pay taxes and social security just as you do, right? Their SSN# might be fake, but it's still siphoned out of their paychecks. Those few that are paid cash under the table are usually making little enough that they would actually end up receiving money under our tax system.
No, I'm referring to the conservative disgust for a civilized society. They would prefer to make a profit off of selling weapons to rival gangs in a deteriorating society than ever try to keep that society from deteriorating.

I prefer a pay as you go system for just about everything. I have never required the services of the PD or FD, yet I am forced to pay for them. I do not have children, yet I am forced to pay higher and higher property taxes to pay for schools for OTHER peoples children to go to.

You are aware that when an illegal uses someone else's SS#, that is considered identity theft right? You know those taxes that are taken out of their paycheck, who do you think is liable for any remaining taxes owed? Thats right, the original SS# holder.
When you say civilized society, are you referring to civilized in terms of grown men prancing around the streets in a speedo and bikini top during their gay pride parades? I know how fond liberals are of that type of behavior.
Can you provide your definition of "civilized"?

Furthermore, I'm interested in why an organization who's only stated political goal is "Chicano empowerment" has, in your mind, become the icon of Liberalism.
And lastly... how exactly do you "steal" print items that are put out free for the taking?
Sucks to be you. Move to Namibia, they have exactly what you're looking for.
They can't even access public services due to their status.
And, I just want to make sure... you think Illegal immigrants are, as a group, making enough money to owe taxes?
Where the hell do you live, one of the Great White North states, wher the sight of someone with a tan is cause for locking the deadbolt?
They can prance around buck naked for all the damn I give. So can you - go for it, I could care less. I like how your definition of "uncivilized" is ugly men having fun
A civilized society is one that strives to take care of its needful and protect the vulnerable. An uncivilized society is one that abandons its needful and exploits its vulnerable.
as to the majority of conservatives, who's only two goals in life are avoiding paying for anything,
and making a profit at the expense of others.
